Abstract:The translation research on Chinese quantifiers is widely noticed in the long tradition of systematic translation research. However, careful description of translation practice presents that translation is filled with changes and shifts. The serious translation research on Chinese quantifiers by categorization translation methods are produced is an important factor that should not be ignored. The dissertation connects the classification with the translating skills to explore how to deal with the translation on the Chinese quantifiers and the solutions that help translators’ translation work. The categorizing method and case study are selected. Based on the systematic conclusion, the analysis mainly focuses on translating methods which are primarily relied on the equivalence between Chinese quantifiers and English ones and then they could be translated according to the collocation practice, coped with the translation on the basis of the context or circumstances, conducted profound understanding on the original and then making best choices, applied to literal translation or free translation depending on the needs of the original and selected whether to translate or not based on the passionate or dispassionate pursuit of the quantifiers. Through the analysis, it is hoped that the findings of this dissertation will give some insights for the comprehension of the novel translating methods on the Chinese quantifiers.

摘要:长期以来,在传统的系统翻译研究中,汉语量词的英译研究是备受关注的。然而,通过严谨的翻译实践描述可以发现,翻译过程充满各种变化和转移。为了应对这一状况,应该通过已有的分类归纳法对汉语量词进行细致的翻译研究,而这种分类归纳法无疑是这研究必不可少的重要因素。论文把分类与翻译技巧结合在一起来探讨如何处理汉语量词的英译和寻找一些能帮助翻译者在量词翻译这一板块遇到的问题的解决办法。论文选取归纳法和例证法进行研究。基于系统的总结,论文主要根据中英量词的对等关系进行分析,从而找出五种翻译方法或应对技巧:根据搭配习惯翻译、依据情景处理、理解原语深层含义择译、运用直译和意译法、按量词强弱程度择译或弃议。通过分析,希望本论文的研究成果能为汉语量词的英译理解和创新提供启发和帮助。
